Stalked: Gloria Yu, Fashion Designer At Frieze Art Fair 2013

23 October 2013

Earlier in the week I promised you all Frieze stalkings and here is my first very stylish lady - Gloria Yu, a fashion designer that creates the coolest tops, for example the one she is wearing! Here's my 5 minutes with Gloria!

I remember you saying
that you're a designer, how would describe your work? And why do you love your
job?

In general for my
ready to wear designs, comfort and humour are two key elements.... because you
pretty much can't go wrong with them.

For my headpiece I
guess I would describe them as romantic with an extra-terrestrial edge. I
never get bored of getting inspired by nature because I haven't yet stop
discovering new things about it and I am always fascinated by its organized
chaos.

I love my job because
I can't imagine doing anything else.

What was your favourite
artist during frieze?

Whoever did the text
art behind the 'General Waste' bins

How would sum up your
style?

Easy

Favourite store in London?

Mrs Kibble's Olde
Sweet Shoppe on Brewer. Keeps me happy.

What 5 items can you
not live without?

My keys, phone, tea,
needle and thread

Her website is yunotme.com - I know I'll be ordering one of her leather tops very soon!
